Martin O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland who staked out early ground in the Democratic presidential race on the issue of reforming immigration laws, sent a letter to the Jeh Johnson, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, urging him to rethink planned raids of families who came over the border last year during a surge of crossings into the United States.

“If these reports are true, they raise serious questions about due process for people seeking asylum, and these raids promise to needlessly rip apart more families and communities,” Mr. O’Malley wrote.
